Miquita Oliver: I almost had my leg amputated

Presenter tells how drunken accident could have cost her dear

Friday, 25 July 2008

Miquita Oliver has revealed she nearly lost her leg after an accident on a night out.

The presenter, 24, says a drunken short cut nearly cost her a limb.

‘When I got the job on Popworld at 16 I went out and celebrated with my friend,’ she tells The Observer.

‘We got drunk and were climbing over a fence in Hyde Park when I slipped and impaled my leg on a spike. I was so drunk I pulled it out and still went to the pub.’

But leaving the wound to unattended meant infection set in.

‘The next day at the hospital they said a couple more hours and they would have had to amputate,’ she says.
